Flights in Europe cancelled after heavy snowfall

Wintry conditions are disrupting air travellers across northern Europe today.

Heavy snow has fallen in several European cities, with Amsterdam one of the worst affected.

As well as the Netherlands, Northern France, Belgium and Germany have also been hit by the snow.

BA has been forced to cancel several services this morning going to the Dutch capital. According to the latest update, flights should resume at 11.45 today. However, flights from Heathrow to Paris, Munich, Geneva and Stockholm were cancelled earlier today, and delays are still affecting those routes.

The Dutch carrier KLM has cancelled all flights until noon today, although passengers who were scheduled to fly short-haul services to Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Paris are being offered replacement ground transportation.

Air France reported that snowfall in Paris has now stopped, and normal service should shortly be resumed in the city – although it did say delays and cancellations would still be possible in Amsterdam.

Delays have also been affecting some domestic flights, especially to Glagow and Edinburgh.

EasyJet has warned passengers that its flights could be affected, and advised passengers to allow extra time for their journeys to the airport, to check the status of your flight before leaving and closely monitor local weather forecasts.

Several Ryanair flights to Poland and Germany have also been delayed or diverted.
